The Navy has adopted a Phase II Enhancement Plan to encourage transition of Navy SBIR funded technology to the Fleet. Since the Law (PL102-564) permits Phase III awards during Phase II work, the Navy may match on a one-to-four ratio, SBIR funds to funds that the company obtains from an acquisition program, usually up to $250,000. The SBIR enhancement funds may only be provided to the existing Phase II contract. If you have questions, please contact the Navy Activity SBIR Program Manager.
PHASE III
Public Law 106-554 and the 2002 Small Business Innovation Research Program Policy Directive (Directive) provide for protection of SBIR data rights under SBIR Phase III awards. Per the Directive, a Phase III SBIR award is any work that derives from, extends or logically concludes effort(s) performed under prior SBIR funding agreements, but is funded by sources other than the SBIR program. Thus, any contract or grant where the technology is the same as, derived from, or evolved from a Phase I or a Phase II SBIR/STTR contract and awarded to the company which was awarded the Phase I/II SBIR is a Phase III SBIR contract. This covers any contract/grant issued as a follow-on Phase III SBIR award or any contract/grant award issued as a result of a competitive process where the awardee was an SBIR firm that developed the technology as a result of a Phase I or Phase II SBIR. The Navy will give SBIR Phase III status to any award that falls within the above-mentioned description, which includes according SBIR Data Rights to any noncommercial technical data and/or noncommercial computer software delivered in Phase III that was developed under SBIR Phase I/II effort(s). The government’s prime contractors and/or their subcontractors shall follow the same guidelines as above and ensure that companies operating on behalf of the Navy protect rights of the SBIR company.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
Proposals submitted with Federal Government organizations (including the Naval Academy, Naval Post Graduate School, or any other military academy) as subcontractors will be subject to approval by the Small Business Administration (SBA) after selection and prior to award.
Any contractor proposing research that requires human, animal and recombinant DNA use is advised to view requirements at website http://www.onr.navy.mil/sci_tech/ahd_usage.asp. This website provides guidance and notes approvals that may be required before contract/work may begin.

Navy SBIR 08.1 Topic Descriptions
N08-001 TITLE: AN/ASQ-233 Magnetic Anomaly Detection (MAD) Light Weight Towing System for Light Weight Helicopters and Small, Vertical Take Off Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
TECHNOLOGY AREAS: Air Platform, Ground/Sea Vehicles, Sensors
ACQUISITION PROGRAM: PMA 264-Joint Multi-Mission Electro-optical System (JMMES)-ACAT IV; PMA-290
The technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services. Offerors must disclose any proposed use of foreign nationals, their country of origin, and what tasks each would accomplish in the statement of work in accordance with section 3.5.b.(7) of the solicitation.
OBJECTIVE: Develop a very light weight towing system to enclose, deploy, and tow the AN/ASQ-233 magnetometer from manned and unmanned small rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft.
DESCRIPTION: Current state of the art towing reels, tow cables, and tow bodies designed for the AN/ASQ-233 magnetometer are too large, too heavy and too unstable for use by small rotary wing and fixed wing manned and unmanned aircraft. These aircraft are constrained in available payload weight and their ability to handle large aerodynamic forces. A novel approach is sought for a light-weight, small, very stable, non-magnetic tow vehicle, non-magnetic tow cable, and reeling machine.
The system should consist of a non-magnetic, stable tow vehicle; non-magnetic tow cable; and light weight reeling machine that can deploy and tow the MAD sensor at speeds between 50 - 350 knots from small rotary wing and fixed wing manned and unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). The solution technology must be stable in 3-axes to ± ½ degrees while being towed, and not add more than 10 pounds to the AN/ASQ-233 magnetometer/sensor package. One of the key mechanical requirements that is very difficult to achieve with current technology is a very light weight < 40 pounds for the entire system (tow body, tow cable, reeling machine) while meeting the aerodynamic qualities above.
PHASE I: Develop a towing system conceptual design and demonstrate feasibility to meet these requirements for use on small rotary wing and fixed wing manned and unmanned air vehicles.
PHASE II: Design and demonstrate a prototype light weight towing system and test stability in a wind tunnel environment.
PHASE III: Build an engineering development model of the light-weight towing system. Obtain flight clearance for use on NAVAIR R&D aircraft and test in conjunction with the Joint Multi Mission Electro-Optical System (JMMES) program on SH60R, SH60S, and the Fire Scout. Transition technology to the fleet.
PRIVATE SECTOR COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL/DUAL-USE APPLICATIONS: High performance towed magnetometers find application in geological survey systems used for mineral, water, oil, and treasure hunting surveys.

N08-002 TITLE: Advanced Insensitive Munitions (IM) Compliant Initiation System
TECHNOLOGY AREAS: Air Platform, Ground/Sea Vehicles, Weapons
ACQUISITION PROGRAM: PMA-201 - Precision Strike Weapons; PMA-259 - Air-to-air Missile System
The technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services. Offerors must disclose any proposed use of foreign nationals, their country of origin, and what tasks each would accomplish in the statement of work in accordance with section 3.5.b.(7) of the solicitation.
OBJECTIVE: Develop an advanced initiation system that is IM compliant and capable of initiating high performance insensitive energetics which pose a problem for current initiation systems
DESCRIPTION: Current weapon systems must meet Insensitive Munitions (IM) requirements under which weapons are to be immune to external threats in their environments and respond in a benign manner when exposed to these threats. The IM requirements include passing Fragment Impact, Bullet Impact, Slow Cookoff, Fast Cookoff, Shaped Charge Jet and sympathetic detonation tests. This need has been partially met by decreasing the sensitivity of the main charge fill and modifications in the warhead case design resulting in many weapons which are capable of meeting several of these requirements but still few that meet all of the required responses.
A new approach to initiation is needed that does not result in a susceptibility to the above mentioned threats and still meets the affordability and operational energy requirements of conventional weapon systems. Recent studies and technological developments suggest there is an achievable path to achieving full IM compliance without decreasing weapon system performance. The primary challenge for this development will be to use low cost/firing energy components to initiate insensitive explosive fills and maintain immunity to the threats listed above. The secondary challenge of this effort will be to selectively control the initiation system output to modify the performance of the warhead. The developed initiation system should demonstrate a hazard level 1.6 compliance, maintain current weapon system initiation system costs and reduce the cost of meeting IM goals. Additionally, there is a desire for selectivity in the initiation system to enable control of the output characteristics of the warhead.
PHASE I: Model a idealized initiation system and demonstrate components that will achieve the desired characteristics to meet the system needs. Test results combined with modeling efforts shall demonstrate feasibility of operation against a standardized insensitive munitions explosive fill. Exit criteria for successful Phase I completion shall be the demonstration of an initiation system capable of initiating a IM fill and modeling data showing the design does not detonate when impacted by a shaped charge. Companies must be able to demonstrate capabilities to design electrical firing circuits, perform explosive modeling and explosive testing to be considered for this effort.
PHASE II: Mature the Phase I components into a functional system and generate a test system capable of matching the performance modeled. Component and system level testing shall be performed to demonstrate the performance goals are met and to establish performance variations. Design validation hardware and operational test support will be provided to the government for demonstration testing in a weapon application. Detailed test reports showing the performance of the test hardware will be provided along with a final report documenting the effort. Two sets of prototype hardware will be delivered at the end of the effort to support phase three transition efforts.
PHASE III: Coordinate the transition of developed technologies with PEO-W, PMA201 and PMA259 to meet the specific program needs. Integrate the technology into the existing safety system and associated warhead to minimize the development cost and program risk.
PRIVATE SECTOR COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL/DUAL-USE APPLICATIONS: Use of this technology in the private sector will be limited to homeland defense where safety critical applications will benefit from implementation. Potential applications in demolition and mining industry will be investigated for application of a reduced performance design.

N08-003 TITLE: Graphical Trace Object (GTO) Tool
TECHNOLOGY AREAS: Information Systems, Human Systems, Weapons
ACQUISITION PROGRAM: PMA-280 - Tomahawk Weapons System Program, ACAT 1C
The technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services. Offerors must disclose any proposed use of foreign nationals, their country of origin, and what tasks each would accomplish in the statement of work in accordance with section 3.5.b.(7) of the solicitation.
OBJECTIVE: Develop an innovative technology concept to visualize and analyze software in real-time.
DESCRIPTION: Develop a mechanism that provides a visual means to analyze the dynamic nature of software, both local and distributed, for purposes of debugging and optimization. The analyst using the GTO Tool would need the ability to graphically display the objects in an application as it runs, traverse the objects in the application, observe the objects as they are instantiated or deleted, graphically display calls to an object, display pointer possession, set triggers, visualize the contents of an object, visualize orphaned objects, and display memory leaks. In addition, the system must allow the operator to graphically traverse memory, both heap and stack, and display the contents in human readable fashion, when appropriate. The developed system should include the capability of performing quantitative performance analysis, including the number of times each object method is called, the number of times memory is allocated and deleted, and should support the ability to make timing measurements. The system should support both single and multi threaded applications.
PHASE I: Develop an innovative concept to visualize a running software application in real-time. Demonstrate the technical merit of the proposed solution.
PHASE II: Develop, demonstrate and validate a prototype of the GTO Tool and innovations developed in Phase I. Evaluate the utility of the approach in providing improved analysis.
PHASE III: Develop and mature the prototype capability for use in the development of the Tactical Tomahawk Weapon Control System (TTWCS) in a major upgrade scheduled to be done in v.8, and other programs that would benefit from the technology.
PRIVATE SECTOR COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL/DUAL-USE APPLICATIONS: Recently there has been much interest in understanding complex software once it has been coded and deployed. This product could be used by analysts to optimize and debug new software, as well as understand large, complex legacy systems. While advances in standardization of software design notation supports the ability to provide greater understanding of the developed systems (structure) and the current state of the art debugging tools provide low level run-time analysis (execution), no existing tool bridges the gap between structure and execution. It is an area that shows promise in improving the overall quality of complex systems.
